Door Edge Guards

Could someone recommended a good site where I can purchase Door Edge Guards for a Magnetic GRAY Metallic 2008 Highlander Sport 4WD?

I appreciate it.

I just bought some here:

http://www.trdparts4u.com/MC-DAFE-FIE.aspx

and they went on easy and look great. Great price also. I got $400 worth of accesories from them including OEM oil filters, mats, wheel locks, etc. I have the classic silver 2008 Sport 4wd...love it!

Thanks for the reply.

I don't see Magnetic Gray Metallic as an option for a door edge guard.

I sent an email to the company inquiring and will let you guys know.

Installed them Thursday and they went on easy and look great. I also ordered the body side moldings off Ebay from Sportwing and will let you know how they look.

It's probably the Galactic Gray on their website. Toyota changes "gray" colors so often they probably accidentally used the color description from '07 or something. (My previous Camrys were "Phantom" gray.)

Call them with the paint code off your door jamb.

Very. Just shave a little of the factory applied sealant off the inside edge of the door, and tap them on with a rubber mallet.

Are the edge guards the universal type or are made specifically to the 08 Highlander with the shape and lengths?

I was at the dealer the other day and they had 2 Blizzard Pearls on the lot, 1 w/door guards and one w/o. The 1 with did not match the paint color at all. The door guard looked filthy and really took away from the look of the car, making it appear as a cheap minivan. That was enough to make my decision to leave them off my new 08 that arrives at the port tomorrow!

Interesting, I've heard that about the body side moldings too. Only if someone could post a picture of them on the car. I also have Magnetic Gray as the orginal poster. Now I will have to think about getting them or not.

That's good to hear. Now just have to see what your picture looks like and I will probably go for it.
